Which is the more likely cause for Global Warming?

Question

1) Me

2) That huge ball of gas and fire at the center of our solar system

Answer 1

Probably you, and not only you, everyone!! Because of some of the things we do, like: litter, cutting down trees because no one wants to recycle, and dumping garbage in to the water!!!

Answer 2

2) That huge ball of gas and fire at the center of our solar system.

Yet I think global warming could stop or at least be controlled if us human control our daily activitys.

answer is everything.

Answer 5

You (and the other 6 billion humans burning fossil fuels).  Read my wiki article linked below for a scientific explanation why.

Answer 6

The answer is option 3 - You x 6 billion people.

The solar option has already been discounted as a possible cause by climate scientists (it's just the blogsphere of people that don't read scientific literature that think it's still a viable explanation).

Answer 7

The Sun supplies the energy.  But, it doesn't cause the recent warming.  CO2, acting as a blanket to hold more of the Sun's heat in, does.  The amount of Solar radiation at the Earth's surface has been DECREASING for years.  Proof.

World needs more CO2, environment confab told

'There will be significant cooling very soon,' asserts solar scientist

You could have heard a pin drop at the Hong Kong conference designed to persuade the airline industry to cut back on its production of so-called greenhouse gases to fight "global warming."

The "Greener Skies 2008" conference had just heard from David Archibald, a solar scientist asserting that climate change is mostly dictated by solar cycles, not carbon dioxide levels, as conventional wisdom suggests.

Archibald didn't just tell the group not to worry about carbon dioxide emissions. He told those gathered they should figure out ways of increasing CO2 output.

"In a few short years, we will have a reversal of the warming of the 20th century," Archibald warned, according to CargoNews Asia. "There will be significant cooling very soon. Our generation has known a warm, giving sun, but the new generation will suffer a sun that is less giving, and the earth will be less fruitful. Carbon dioxide is not even a little bit bad – it's wholly beneficial."

One observer at the February conference said there would have been fewer jaws dropping had Archibald stripped off his clothes before the assembled.

"Plant growth responds to atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment," he continued. "In a world of higher atmospheric carbon dioxide, crops will use less water per unit of carbon dioxide uptake. Thus the productivity of semi-arid lands will increase the most."

But the real shocker was not just his unorthodox view of carbon dioxide. Unlike most of those in the conference, Archibald doesn't see a future threat of global warming, but an imminent and dire future of global cooling.

"We will need this increase in agricultural productivity to offset the colder weather coming," he said. "It also follows that if the developed countries of the world want to be caring and sharing to the countries of the Third World, the best thing that could be done for them is to increase atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. It is the equivalent of giving them free phosphate fertilizer. Who would want to deny the Third World such a wonderful benefit?''

After Archibald's speech, Martin Craigs, president of Aerospace Forum Asia, went to the microphone and asked: "Don't you have Al Gore's e-mail address?" "How can you be right and 2,000 scientists wrong?"

IT is a scam for GLOBAL CARBON TAX PAID by YOU to WORLD BANK

By Ed Cropley

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Developing countries and environmental groups accused the World Bank on Friday of trying to seize control of the billions of dollars of aid that will be used to tackle climate change in the next four decades.

"The World Bank's foray into climate change has gone down like a lead balloon," Friends of the Earth campaigner Tom Picken said at the end of a major climate change conference in the Thai capital.

"Many countries and civil society have expressed outrage at the World Bank's attempted hijacking of real efforts to fund climate change efforts," he said.

Before they agree to any sort of restrictions on emissions of the greenhouse gases fuelling global warming, poor countries want firm commitments of billions of dollars in aid from their rich counterparts.

Answer 9

You! Definitely!

I have evidence. Since you were born, the temperature of earth has been rising! Prove me wrong!

Answer 10

The proof is in - that huge ball of gas is warming the Earth and the other planets in our solar system.  I'm pretty sure nature doesn't notice your 'contribution'.

Answer 11

Answer: 2

The sun (or as you so eloquently put it, "That huge ball of gas and fire at the center of our solar system")

Answer 12

Neither.  As to relative significance, I'm sure the prize goes to the larger of the two gas balls.
